UW-Physics Email

Email services for faculty, staff, and students

Email service for the Department is provided by WiscMail, which uses the Office 365 email system. All UW students and personnel get an email account associated with their NetID. This account can have multiple email addresses associated with it. The Physics Department can create you an email address in the following domains:

physics.wisc.edu

hep.wisc.edu

pheno.wisc.edu

pheno.physics.wisc.edu

nucth.physics.wisc.edu

wisp.physics.wisc.edu

cow.physics.wisc.edu

The email address can be associated with your NetID either as a primary address or an alternate address. Alternatively, it can be associated with a separate mailbox known as a service account.

Passwords

Email administrators will never send you an email asking you to reveal your password via email or to enter it into a website other than login.wisc.edu. Requests such as this are attempts by scammers to gain access to your account. Please be wary of all such emails.
